Abstract
- Mn-based superconductors are very rare and their superconductivity has only been reported in three-dimensional MnP and quasi-one-dimensional KMn6Bi5 and RbMn6Bi5 with [Mn6Bi5]â' columns under high pressures. Here we report the synthesis, magnetism, electrical resistivity, and specific heat capacity of the newly discovered quasi-one-dimensional NaMn6Bi5. Compared with other A Mn6Bi5 (A = K, Rb, and Cs), NaMn6Bi5 has abnormal Bi-Bi bond lengths and two antiferromagnetic-like transitions at 47.3 K and 51.8 K. Anisotropic resistivity and low-temperature non-Fermi liquid behavior are observed. Heat capacity measurement reveals that the Sommerfeld coefficient for NaMn6Bi5 is unusually large. Using first-principles calculations, an unusual enhancement of density of states near the Fermi level is demonstrated for NaMn6Bi5. The features make NaMn6Bi5 a more suitable platform to explore the interplay of magnetism and superconductivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
